Chapter 200 Who Introduces Who

“Who is that person? How come they’re walking with Old Mr. Caulder and even sitting at the head table?”

“I just saw him at the door earlier. His son seems quite impressive, considering he knows both Mr. Miles and Old Mr. Haimowitz”

“I just saw him, too. Robert from the Department of Education got into trouble directly because he offended that father and son!”

“Being able to sit so close to Old Mr. Caulder, and sharing a table with the likes of Mr. Miles, this really has a blessed son!”

As the banquet was about to commence, all the members of the Caulder family had arrived in the front courtyard.

Upon seeing Desmond and Soren walking together and even taking seats at the main table, the guests couldn’t help but start whispering among themselves.

Desmond had never experienced such a situation before, and he was somewhat nervous for a moment.

Soren patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t be nervous. We’re all human. Just don’t regard them too highly, and you’ll be able to handle it calmly.”

“Desmond, Old Mr. Caulder is right,” Gilbert said with a smile. “Let them talk. There’s no need for you to take it to heart. We’re all human, nothing to be overly concerned about.”

Winston chuckled in agreement. “Just treat it like normal.”

Originally, Desmond was somewhat nervous.

Seeing everyone so relaxed and approachable, Desmond felt his mood finally settled a bit, feeling that he might have overthought things.

In reality, Gilbert and the others being approachable was because of Finnegan.

Otherwise, Desmond wouldn’t even be qualified to sit at the same table with them in his lifetime, let alone expect them to treat him courteously.

William looked around and called out, “Where’s Finn?”

William replied in a low voice, “Dad, Mr. Larkin said that everyone seated at this table is his elders, and it’s not appropriate for him, a young man, to sit here. Thus, he went to join Mr. Miles and the others from the younger generation!”

Hearing that, Soren nodded with a sigh of admiration. Finn is truly extraordinary!”

If it were any other young person given that opportunity, they would be eager to stand out.

Yet, Finnegan managed to remain humble and steady, maintaining his usual calm.

Meanwhile, Finnegan saw Trey and Felix among others

Just as he was about to walk over, Myla came from the side and said, “I thought you were going to share a table with my grandfather. It seems you still have some sense after all.”

There was a hint of confrontation in her words. Clearly, Finnegan’s comment about her being all show and no substance had struck a chord with her.

Finnegan frowned. “Ms. Caulder, we’ve never interacted before. Is there a need for your words to carry a hint of hostility? Regardless of anything else, I did save your grandfather’s life. You don’t have to thank me, but is there really a need to act this way? Aren’t you afraid that people will accuse you, Ms. Caulder, of being ungrateful?”

Finnegan’s sharp words were unexpected, causing Myla’s pretty countenance to turn somewhat awkward.

However, she quickly regained her composure. “I was also deceived by Keaton. You could have explained it at the time. Was there really a need to humiliate me in the end?”

Being called all style and no substance was the greatest humiliation for an exceptional woman.

Finnegan scoffed, “Explanation? Who was it that said they didn’t deign to speak with me?”

Myla grimaced, realizing she couldn’t win against Finnegan with words.

Continuing to speak with him would only invite more ridicule to her.

Biting her lip, she asked, “As a man, are you really so petty that you must argue with a young woman like me?”

Finnegan couldn’t help but laugh. Oh, now she’s calling me petty because she’s losing. Such a classic double standard!

However, for the sake of Soren, Finnegan didn’t bother to argue.
